I have a confession to make: I am terrified of cologne. Mostly it’s because I just don’t know enough about it. And that’s why I decided to reach out to today’s guest. In this episode, Dave Johnson and I talk about everything you need to know about men’s fragrance. Dave shares tips on why you should wear cologne, why every man needs 3 distinct fragrances, how you can use fragrance to hack your memories, and much more.
